Farcry 2
« on: March 24, 2009, 08:13:07 am »
So I finally got around to playing Farcry 2 the other day, so far it's living up to it's reputation of not being nearly as fun as Fallout 3 (which was AMAZING) and getting boring really fast... I lit a few forest fires, and figured out that the machete is more effective than any of the weapons due to poor AI... Seriously though, these guys can survive half a clip of full auto assault rifle to the chest, then you hit them once with a knife and they're down... wtfhax? The game designers definitely did not have melee in mind when they wrote it, because enemy's can't be "surprised"... If you sprint straight forwards at them knife drawn, they still take out their guns slowly, meaning you can hack a pack of enemies to death before they fire a single shot off...

Needless to say, I am not impressed. It took me an hour to break the game. wtg.

Well, they f-ed up from the get-go by completely changing everything around from the original game. Technically, it's not even FarCry. It's a game about civil unrest in Africa. Sounds to me like they were jumping on the Resident Evil bandwagon (except RE at least has zombies). That, or brown people are easier to render.

Yeah, I never actually played the original Farcry so I don't necessarily have any complaint there. I think fun factor trumps following the franchise any day... This game, apparently, has neither.

Hopefully you didn't spend $50 on it.

Oh god no, I only spend money on games with replay value...
